Is Calcitriol vitamin D? Or am I getting that confused with something else?
Yes, too much T4 or T3 drugs could do this. I don't know about Calcitriol. What are your most recent lab levels on FT4/FT3/TSH?
older dogs similar to yours using fluids, which owners can give at home if needed, an excellent, herbal kidney supplement, a home made, organic diet which we balance with a natural patented vitamin supplement. We monitor our success with blood and urine results. The goal is to reduce the Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN), Creatinine (Cr), Phosphorus (PO4) and Calcium (Ca) levels back down to normal.
Can we do anything to get rid of the calcium deposits? Could the calcium be kidney stones? Is renal advanced (the powder supplement) really important for her to take? My vets are clueless. They can't tell me anything. We are crazy about our Pookee.
5 glands removed, was in the hospital one night due to having 3.5 glands removed and put on calcitriol twice a day and 8 extra strength tums a day. because my calcium fell to 8 and my pth to 10 post surgery. Two days later my PTH was 6 (range 10-65) and my calcium was 8.5 (range 8.8-10,2). That was last week. This week, the surgeon said to take one calictriol and stay on the 8 tums a day and then said that an endo should now follow me.
Treatment with vitamin-D(3) resulted in calcitriol production and induction of calcitriol target gene CYP24A1, indicating that these cells contain the full machinery for vitamin-D metabolism and activity. Notably, treatment with calcitriol resulted in HCV inhibition. Collectively, these findings suggest that vitamin-D(3) has an anti-viral activity which is mediated by its active metabolite.
Do you supplement by diet only? That would be great. Do you take Calcitriol? I was on it for 4 days and hated it. Drier eyes and drier mouth {already had RA-I damage} flushed, and nauseated.. That's what scares me...your last comment,"then the hell began" This is ridiculous how complicated it all is, I hate it. Confusing because I was fine for three years, now all the calcium issues three years later, doesn't make sense to me!!
These cells express CYP27B1, the gene encoding for the enzyme responsible for the synthesis of the vitamin D hormonally active metabolite, calcitriol. Treatment with vitamin D(3) resulted in calcitriol production and induction of calcitriol target gene CYP24A1, indicating that these cells contain the full machinery for vitamin D metabolism and activity. Notably, treatment with calcitriol resulted in HCV inhibition.
Vitamin D blocks the growth of cancer tumors. The active form of vitamin D, calcitriol, does most of the work. Calcitriol is made in the liver and in various organs affected by cancer. This form of vitamin D offers several benefits:
* Activates vitamin D receptors, which turn genes on and off
* Prevents cancer from starting (Calcitriol encourages cells to either adapt to their new organ or commit apoptosis [cell suicide].
parathyroid failure after 3 years post TT?
by LLV123, 4 minutes ago
Hi, I had TT 3 years ago, had 1 para removed accidentally, 1 re implanted, 2 were "fine" Had low Ca post TT for a few weeks, then ok. Now, 3 years later, had some muscle twitching, had low ionized Ca {1.09, 1.10, 1.14 after I had infusions for 3 days of IV CA. Serum was ok, not high but low 8's. My endo put me on Calcitriol and said para's are failing. NO WAY!!
I took my calcium supplement as dirrected that when I got home. My legs got tingly then it went through my body to my arms and then finally my lips and my face. The hospital was waiting for me when i got there. I couldnt walk, I could hardly talk, my neck felt kinked. Anyways I was admitted for over a week. My calcium levels never came back 2 normal. The doctors at the hospital basically gave up after all the IV's and everything else and they hardly saw a result.
I had a TT on 8/4/08 and my levels just came back around recently. I started out on massive amounts of calcium & calcitriol (cit. d) and am now down to 1500mg of calcium & 1 calcitriol .5 a day.
I'm still having weekly blood work to make sure that my levels stay up where they belong, but my endo is pretty sure that my parathyroids have finally kicked back in.

I was a physical mental wreck and had sought other opinions. The new endo checked my PTH and said I would have to take Calcitriol for the rest of my life. As the parathyroids would not come back. Calcitriol is a prescription form of Vitamin D. It has helped me tremendously, although it has totally set of changes in my Thyroid meds. I was at a high dosage and still not functioning, I think my body was over compensating in some way.
I am taking calcium supplements and vitamin d, but just learned that I need to be taking activated vitamin d, (Calcitriol). The problem is that Calcitriol gives me horrible stomach pains. Does anyone know of any other activated vitamin d I could use?
More importantly, has anyone out there had their parathyroid function resume/completely recover after months of low parathyroid function? It's been over 5 months since my surgery, and they still haven't kicked in.
